in my quest to learn perl, i've gone to the code section of this site and have read through some of the programs there in hopes to gain a better understanding of how real perl programs are written, in won such visit i came across a gameAI written by Falkkin. I thought that it was a really cool program and downloaded it so i could play with it. but to my disappointment it didn't work. woe is me :( i got a compile time error saying the module TicTacToe.pm returned a not true value. i've looked at the code over and over again and i can't find any reason why it would do such a thing. my only conclusion is it has to be my system or the perl interpretor causing the error. I'm running Win2000 and ActivePerl

Thanks for any help offered
